Pressure exerted by a liquid depends upon its_________________?
Correct answer: A. Density
- A. Density
- B. Surface tension
- C. Viscosity
- D. Buoyancy
Explanation
Hydrostatic pressure increases with liquid density according to p = ρgh, for a specified depth and gravitational field. Viscosity, surface tension and buoyancy do not determine the basic pressure variation in a stationary liquid.
